Proper cycle rain capes are featuring a loop [ 1 for each hand], and a waist tie ,
they keep the cape under control is pretty stormy weather .
that is my experience, not hearsay.
It's a long time since I tried a cape, fletsbob, but it was as you describe with loops. Don't remember the waist tie, but it may well have had one. In any event, I didn't mean it blew all over the place, but merely that it seemed to me to catch a lot of wind and therefore make riding pretty hard going. Is that not your experience? If not, I was probably doing it wrong...
